Chateau Angludet was purchased in 1961 by Peter Sichel, and although the family also partly owns Chateau Palmer, it is Angludet they call home. The chateau is among the oldest in Margaux and consists of 32 hectares of vineyards behind the Cantenac plateau going toward the commune of Arsac, about 3km from the river. The vines are planted to 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 13% Petit Verdot, are at an altitude between 8 and 21 meters and have a planting density between 6600 and 7300 vines per hectare. Chateau Angludet produces excellent, intriguing Margaux, with layers of aromatic complexity, nuances of coffee and an enchanting spicy note given by the high percentage of Petit Verdot. Since 1989 the management has been in the hands of Benjamin Sichel, who works with the aim of allowing the great terroir of the chateau to shine through as much as possible. The percentage of new barrels used to age the wine is limited to 35 percent and, year after year, the use of terracotta amphorae is increasing. Chateau Angludet is undoubtedly among the producers with the best value for money in the appellation and, when the Cru Bourgeois classification was in effect, was classified as Exceptionnel.
